DRESS
Unquestionably Eve was the first
human being to concern herself with .
the matter of cogtume.
* Today, some evidence Yo the
coa- |
trary, the primary objcet of clothing |
is to protect the body from the heatt !
and cold. Man's dress bas through all
ages, of necegsity, conformed more or
less to these practjcal purposes.
True, there have been certain butter-
fly stages when man’s costume vied
with that of the woman of any period
in elegance and costliness but within
last hundred years the great econo-
mjc change which has brought with
it a pratical gtandardizattion of men’s
dress.
Women’s clothing has been and cou-
tinues to be subject ‘to far greater ex-
tremes. While it would be far from
desjrable to take beauty and color out
of our lives, for the sake of the wear-
er’'s health, certain reasonable precan-
tions ghould be observed.
Paper soled slippers in mid-winter
worn over jcy pavements as contragi-
ed with necks muffled in fur, are ob-
viously a seurce of real danger.
The growing of women in busi-
negs, whose occupation demands a
more reserved style of dress, will iu
time exert an influence upon their sis
tery whose chief aim is persoral
adornment.

ership contest ,in the Pennsylvania
Republican house caucus in Harris-

ed, also by a unanimous vote, Henry
Washers of York for president pro
tem of the senate. The Republican
senators named E. E. Beidleman of

In a Philadelphia apartment house,
where Mrs. Grace Roberts, an attrac-

choked to death in mysterious circum-

day that the woman had battled des-

slain by a man she had beggared and
then discarded. Twelve photographs

Disraeli and Gladstone.
Mr. Shaw Leslie, an Irish author,
tells the following:
“My grandfather witnessed an effect-
ive piece of play in the house during a
duel between Disraeli and Gladstone.
During a heated fiight of oratory Glad-
stone upset some pens on the table be-
tween them. Disraeli rose and, calling
attention to the fact, slowly replaced
them one by one. The effect of Glad-
stone’s speech was Jost by the time
Disraeli had finished.” :
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr. Leslie says:
“My grandfather recalled the ludi-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. As they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
ludicrous enough to appeal even to pro-
eu ¥ fessional humorists, and they shook

PREDICT HIGHER OIL PRICES
Men Familiar With Situation Say $2.85
a Barrel Too Low.
Pennsylvania crude ail has jumped
to $2.85 a barrel, an advance of an-
other 10 cents a barrel, and the high-
est price ever quoted, except in times
of oil speculation on the old oil ex-
change
Men familiar with the oil situation
are predicting much higher prices for
oil of the Pennsylvania quality, the
demand for which is far greater than
the supply. In fact it is said in well
informed quarters that an oil boom is
now in the making that will eclipse
anything witnessed in seve.al gener-
ations.
